Baja California Sur e il Mare di Cortez
Gite di un giorno, tour di più giorni e spedizioni
Dove il deserto incontra il mare e la fauna selvatica è parte integrante del paesaggio.
È qui che Panterra ha avuto inizio, e dove decenni di esplorazione hanno plasmato il nostro approccio al turismo esperienziale. Dalle acque turchesi del Mar di Cortez e dalle isole remote alle montagne desertiche, dalle antiche pitture rupestri alle lagune ricche di fauna selvatica e alle piccole comunità costiere, la Baja California offre una straordinaria combinazione di scoperte naturali e culturali.
Esplora la regione in barca, kayak, facendo snorkeling, escursioni, crociere o persino dall'alto. Incontra balene, delfini, leoni marini, squali balena, tartarughe marine, uccelli e innumerevoli altre specie, scoprendo al contempo la geologia, la storia naturale e le culture che rendono questa zona unica.
Ma la Baja California è molto più di una semplice meta per gli amanti della fauna selvatica. È un'aula a cielo aperto, e uno dei luoghi in cui l'impegno di Panterra per la ricerca, la conservazione, l'educazione e il coinvolgimento delle comunità locali prende vita.
